After a perilous year we are finally at the 25th Anniversary Auckland event this Labour Weekend October 23-26th.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to a change in filming schedule for WandaVision, ELIZABETH OLSEN can no longer take part in the scheduled virtual panel. But we are pleased to announce that we will now have the Impossible Girl herself, JENNA COLEMAN!

With Level one now upon NZ country-wide, Armageddon is ready and raring to go for what will be the single largest public Expo in NZ for 2020 and celebrate twenty-five years of geek glory in the process.

The event will have contact tracing (through the app and all presale tickets) and hand sanitizer stations throughout. If you feel the need to wear a mask, we encourage you to do so, and even promote it as a cosplay accessory if you’re so inclined.
